The grandmaster of my order was nine hundred. [ Obi-Wan offered, the information as a way to express that he had experience with long lived species. Also a way to express that he respected the fact that two thousand was still a hell of a lot of years!
As the Doctor leaned back so to did Obi-Wan. As far as he was concerned one war was more than enough for him, though he was forced to admit that in defeat he was still fighting a war of sorts. A cold war, made up of subterfuge and long term movements across the board.
It was possible, for a being as old and experienced as the Doctor, the Time Lord might see hints of that story in hazel grey eyes. Other, less experienced beings would miss the far away look, but the Time Lord...
Regardless Obi-Wan shook it off and brought himself back to the here and now with a slight frown. ]
I have dedicated my life in the aid of others. [ The words sounded pompous, but the soft and almost reverent tone hopefully conveyed that Obi-Wan did truly feel his calling was in such service. ] I must admit that I am not entirely comfortable taking up arms against an enemy I know nothing about. The Witches appear to be honest, but many beings with nefarious purposes appear to be honest.
[ Palpatine for instance. ]
I feel a pinch of regret that I cannot bring myself to trust our hosts without these concerns in my heart. [ Obi-Wan turned towards the piles of books, then back to the Doctor with a wry turn of his lips. ] Perhaps I was hoping for conclusive proof in these books.
